Civil War 150th Anniversary The War Came By Train Now
– May 30, 2015
The American Civil War was the first major conflict in which
railroads played a prominent role and the B&O was the major
line that straddled a divided country. Between April 19,
1861 (The Baltimore Riot of 1861) and April 21, 1865
(Lincoln’s funeral train leaving Baltimore for Illinois),
the B&O stood witness and participant in the greatest
conflict the United States has ever faced and changed the
course of American history.
The National Landmark Roundhouse will exhibit the largest
assemblage of Civil War railroad equipment in the World
featuring locomotives and rail cars that served during the
war, significant military and personal artifacts that will
change annually to portray each year of the war (some
artifacts have never before been on public display), and a
narrated, round trip train ride to the original site of Camp
Carroll, the largest Union encampment in Baltimore.
Visit
www.borail.org for details and more upcoming
events for all ages.
